- Kevin Spacey was given a standing ovation by an audience at the University of Oxford last night (16 October), after he delivered a performance as part of a lecture about “cancel culture”.
It was the first time the House of Cards actor, 64, has performed on stage since the US star was acquitted of sexual assault against four men in a London trial that ended in July 2023.
Spacey delivered a five-minute scene from Timon of Athens, William Shakespeare’s satire of wealth, greed and betrayal. Modern critics have described the work as an exploration of what is now often called “cancel culture”.

He is a great actor. No doubt
bro i think we went past that info 30 odd years ago lol
One of the best actors! He loves his art and he so good at it …… Hope to see him back
I am glad Spacey is back , hope to see him in a great movie soon
A great great actor. ❤
He said he was sorry to his overlords so they let him back in the club. He only got outted in the first place because he did something to make them mad.
Lol, he's not back back. His career will never be the same.
Un Grande Attore. Il tempo sarà gentiluomo.
Good to see him back🙂
Mr. Spacey listen really good: House of Cards is still unsolved and unfinished. We need F.U. 🥳
Im glad he is free
I love him
Fantastic x
Spoke to a gay friend of mine who told me about his parties in east london. Disgusting
And all consensual
I wish I was there

Not all were of age. And you'd know this if some of his accusers didn't un-alive themselves before his trial.
they shouldn't have then@@saddletramp5000
Bizarre
It is just unfortunate justice takes so long to be spoken. This man lived in fear for 5 years. The mental damage is real and he should have been compensated more than the 40k he received from that case.
Mental damage? What? He has been walking around a free man after ruining so many young lives and then mocking them in a Xmas video? He is diabolical. He is lucky to be a free man, and he knows it.
@@saddletramp5000 Dunning-Kruger at play here. Hope you get cured.
I am awfully ashamed of this as one who are we to judge and second have some respect
Goats back.
They all do it 😊
Anybody worried about "cancel culture" is not worried enough about the people in the world who are actually suffering.
I can understand your fear but in my opinion it is the judiciary to decide what is allowed and not the twitter crowd or big company who remove employees because of some belief. If you want to protect a marginalized group do it legally by introduce laws and getting in the position of power in the democracies rather than expect that the world shall bow down to your tweet just because you find some inconvenience
You know people killed themselves over having their lives ruined by it right?
Are their suffering not enough because they don't align with your own personal beliefs?
That’s a very juvenile sentiment.
Rather than virtue signaling online about how people worried about cancel culture aren’t “worried enough” about “actual suffering in the world,” go out and do something to try to alleviate that suffering you refer to. Put your money where your mouth is rather than lecturing others on it. “Cancel culture isn’t ‘real suffering;’ people out in the world are really suffering” is your premise, not “theirs.” Don’t “delegate” responsibility; it’s your assertion; own it. Otherwise you’re just another self-promoting social media narcissist, a dime a million these days.

Great actor, terrible human being.
The audience thought they were clapping for Gene Hackman.
Where is all the young people?
Learning about plurals.
Kevin Spacey's house
Reading the Coles notes!
He aged a lot
That's what happens when you spend life in stress for years. Sure maybe his issues aren't compared to let's say any homeless person's grievances, but stress is subjective and we all take it relative to the stages in our life.
shipping news ... I. beat. 'em.
Welcome back, Kevin. I do so apologize for the PC Cancel Crew..🌹
There were criminal charges about pedophilia, it's not like he just used a bad word. The hate was at least understandable. I'm wondering your take on Danny Masterson being canceled before he is found guilty or not guilty?
He sexually assaulted a 14 year old boy!
Lecture at Oxford Union but not to students but to old white men.
Your point?
That it's unusual to lecture at a university to no students.
@dootie8285 I don't read the Independent. You understand it's at a university? You understand students go to university? You understand lectures are held for students?
Glad I could help you.
@reallymakesyouthink. Spacey probaby isn't allowed to be within 300 feet of children.
I can't believe that a white man lectured at a British university in Europe. That's crazy!
Maybe you shouldn't have screwed little boys and you would still be working 🤣
Oxford predator club ?
obviously you respect court decisions only if they are to you liking
Who are you calling a predator?
@@MarauderM00giKevin spacey. Because he’s a predator
Mentally ill commenter?
@@gregnz1111 Do you respect the courts decision to overturn Bill Cosby's conviction or do you still pass judgment on him?
NONCE
Proof?
acquitted of all nine charges
Disgusting He should be in jail
Was he out on parole or?
Lol he is innocent shut up
For what?
@@ricardozk
He was found not guilty.
But don't confuse that with being found innocent. Those are two entirely different things.
